LinuxQuestions.org - Fontconfig Trouble

Hello, it's my first message in this forum and my english is not really nice catch this in your head :)

my problem is when i try to run firefox, gftp or a couple of other application i can see this:

Quote:

root@darkstar:~# gaim
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page
